Idaho Medical Bill Assistance

Medical bills do not have to ruin your finances. You do not have to take the collection calls that may come in every day either. You can get help with your medical bills.

First of all, understand that there are nonprofit organizations that can help address your needs so that you can get the help you deserve. For help with medical bills, you may contact one of these nonprofit charities in Idaho through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling:

• CCCS of the Inland Northwest has an office in Coeur d'Alene where you may receive budget help and related financial counseling. Call (866) 346-2227 to schedule an appointment.
• In Lewiston you may visit CCCS of Northern Idaho for help with your medical bills and other debt.

Sometimes a medical billing advocate can reduce medical bills by spotting errors. There are two for-profit companies in Idaho that provide the service:

• Coeur d' Alene: Medical Debt Solutions Consultants, Call 866-247-5772
• Jerome: Medical Account Consultants, Call 208-404-3771

In order to reduce future medical bills, you may wish to consider free or reduced cost health clinics if you think you might qualify as a low income patient. Terry Reilly Health Services is one such charity that provides discounted health services based on income. Call (208) 344-3512 in Boise, (208) 459-1025 in Caldwell, (208) 337-3189 in Homedale, (208) 896-4159 in Marsing, (208) 495-1011 in Melba or (208) 466-7869 in Nampa.

Don't let your medical bills control your finances or keep you from getting necessary medical treatment. Take advantage of charitable services from these nonprofit organizations in Idaho.
